- a body member forming a body of the electric vehicle;
- a battery case containing the battery;
- a supporting member, which is projected outward from said battery case and is disposed under the body member, fixed to a bottom of said battery case;
- a metal frame which is embedded in a wall of said battery case, said metal frame having a first fixing member attached to and extending from said metal frame, said first fixing member being a nut that is welded to said metal frame and is embedded in the wall of said battery case together with the metal frame;
- and
- at least one clash-proof block directly attached to said wall of said battery case and said supporting member, said at least one clash-proof block being attached to said wall by a second fixing member that engages said first fixing member,
- wherein said body member includes,
- a pair of first body members extending in a longitudinal direction of the electric vehicle, and
- a second body member, connected to said pair of first body members, extending in a transversal direction of the electric vehicle,
- said battery case is disposed between said pair of first body members and rear of said second body member, and
- wherein said at least one clash-proof block includes,
